StarTech.com N6PAT15MBKS Cat6 Ethernet Cable, 15 m, Black, UTP Low Smoke Zero Halogen Sheath

This Ethernet cable provides unshielded twisted-pair connectivity for network links in industrial and workshop settings. It is designed as a Cat6 stranded conductor cable with a flexible jacket that emits very low smoke and no halogens when exposed to fire, making it appropriate for installations where reduced toxic emissions are required. The cable accommodates standard patching and data carriage tasks within controlled-temperature environments.

• Stranded copper conductors deliver enhanced Flex for frequent movement
• 28 AWG conductor size supports compact, pliable routing
• Unshielded configuration reduces weight for simpler installations
• Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket lowers toxic fume output in fires
• Outside diameter 3.6mm enables dense cable management
• Rated operation between 10°C and 60°C suits moderate industrial climates

• Suitable for machine-to-network patching in automation cabinets
• Ideal for temporary test rigs and bench-top connectivity
• Used with network switches in electrical control rooms
• Can be used for patching on assembly-line electronics workstations

The small 3.6mm outer diameter and stranded construction allow tight bending and high-density routing in cable trays and ducting.

The jacket is manufactured from a Low Smoke Zero Halogen compound which limits corrosive and toxic gases during combustion.

The specification gives an operating temperature range of 10°C to 60°C but does not list UV or water resistance, so outdoor use without additional protection is not indicated.

Stranded copper conductors provide improved flexibility but require suitable ferrules or clamp-style terminations rather than direct soldering to maintain reliable contacts.
